A “young person” has been taken into police custody after an investigation of an online threat against Our Lady of Mount Carmel Secondary School in Mississauga.

The threat led to a hold and secure which has since been lifted, according to the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board.

Many parents were waiting outside the school for updates during the hold and secure.

Melanie Bloxam-Campbell, a parent of a student, visited the school when she received an automated message on her answering machine around noon. “I live behind the school, and it’s generally in a safe area so it is really shocking that something like this is going on,” Bloxam-Campbell said.
